Listing Tips
Q & A’s
Do a quick scan and return as needed.
Use a desktop computer to create your listing.
The larger screen greatly simplifys the creation of your listing. After listing is completed and you are familiar with the listing layout you may use a mobile device for monitoring or simple edits.
Reminder that we are here to assist you with creation of your listing and can start your listing for you, just contact us.
There are 140 categories, with the option for selecting multiple categories.
However, should you have a listing that bridges two professions/categories, i.e. Riding Instructor and Insurance, create two separate listings to clearly promote details of that business.
A Deluxe listing will allow you promote details about your instruction and while the General listing would appropriate for your insurance business.
How many listings can you have under one account?
You can have several listings that are the same level listing or a combination of levels (General – Deluxe – Premium).
When is my listing ‘live’ and visible in the Directory?
Your General Listing will be live after an admin review. You will be notified by email or listing message system.
Deluxe and Premium Listings will be live after you process payment or coupon code at PayPal checkout.
This gives you time and the flexibility to create, edit, even delete and start over.
How do I temporarily remove my listing from Directory?
Uncheck the category and save. The listing will no longer display in the Directory, however, should someone do a specific Business Name search it will display.
Does a question in the Listing Form not apply to you.
